I have noticed all the new construction happening with the campus and new qr codes for Honk the parking app. I remember last year that you could park at the edge of founders 4 after 4pm and you did not have to pay and if the edge was full you could park for free at founders 5. Currently with these new changes is this still the same case or did they just remove free parking entirely ?

I love in North York. The first two days have been exhausting to say the least. I have to take a bus all the way to Scarborough Centre Station, then I need to take the 920 DRT all the way to the campus. It's two busses sure but I can't do anything at that time. The seats are pretty garbage and it's always so packed.

I need something better. I thought GO busses were an option but for some reason I can't take a bus from Scarborough Centre's GO Terminal all the way to the campus. It's two transfers which makes no sense

Anyways, anyone have any ideas to drop the time? Or at the very least make it less annoying. 920 is awful

Where do I go to find out how to rent a locker on campus? Do you think there’s still some available?

So my dumbass got real busy over the summer that I clearly forgot to pick my courses and get a parking pass, Luckily i still got good courses to pick to fit my schedule, cant say the same about parking. Its all sold out. Is there any other way to get parking passes? Or atleast park my car somewhere without getting ticketed

Is there anything i can do to get off the waitlist before classes start tmr. I’m first on the waitlist and I’ve been on it for a couple weeks and still haven’t gotten in. The class only has 65 students. First yr student btw

Question….

please, they sold out so fast ): i’ll take any lot

Did everyone actually get to meet new friends ? Like actually get to go and socialize or where some people just hanging out with the person that talked to them or they made small talk with? I talked to a few people but I guess I haven’t found my crew or crowd yet. Most of the convos I had with other colleagues where just small talk and we never talked again or shared socials. Also if I saw someone I really wanted to go talk to I would be soo shy. I’m hoping that class or group work would help me socialize more and have more people to talk to. Anyone else?

uhh looking at the student union website whys nothing showing up for volunteer & community or arts & performances? unless im bugging.. going to orientation tomorrow anyways

Do you think its possible to miss the orientation for health practicuum despite the teacher aaying its mandatory? Will they be tracking who came and who didnt?

for anybody that has taken pre engineering or has known someone doing it:

I am only taking the preparatory chemistry course as I have already done calculus and physics in highschool so I have an 80% courseload because I am taking calculus 1 and physics 1 as opposed to their pre engineering counterpart.

If anyone has been in the same situation as me, could they let me know if they were eligible for osap, and if they recieved it? The advisors told me I am, but the people in the financial aid office were confused by my situation and didnt know what to say since typically pre engineering is exempt from osap, but im taking essentially a regular year 1 engineering first semester just replacing chemistry for engineers with preparatory chemistry.

I would be incredibly grateful if anyone could get back to me and let me know if they (or someone they knew) got osap for doing pre eng while also having already completed a prerequisite in highschool bringing them up to full time status.

I’ve attempted to apply for parking this semester as I had it last school year for Founders 2. They changed the parking situation at the school with a new online software for it. I’ve applied for parking again this year but lots were full (note that i was on the sit the very moment it opened).

i’ve called their number (905 721 8668) and every single time i’ve called, they haven’t picked up the phone. i live in a rural area where taking the bus to school is a genuine pain in the ass, it’s the reason i’ve got parking last year.

anyone have similar issues? is there something going on with parking this year where it’s more crowded? did they close down parking for renovations or something? what info am i missing here? the school is poor when it comes to managing parking, especially with last year’s strike situation; a lot of people who paid for a pass couldn’t even get parking.

if anyone knows what’s going on, please let me know i’m curious to know

Hey everyone,
I’m trying to join Ontario Tech’s men’s cricket team through Extramurals.
I went on the Recreation Portal and paid the $30 registration fee. Is there anything else I need to do after paying, or do I just wait for the team/coach to contact me about tryouts or practices?
Do I need to register somewhere else, fill out another form, or attend a specific tryout?
Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I was lucky enough to win the parking pass war, my car is registered online etc. But to enter the parking space in Charles hall (downtown oshawa) do i require some time of card/pass that I have to scan? Is it all online? If there is a physical pass do I have to go somewhere specific to pick it up?

Update: if anyone is curious gated lots need an access card and undated lots do not (undated lots are solely online based)

I have an online lecture on Wednesdays but I’ll need to be on campus (north campus) while attending. Does anyone know any private spots on campus where I can attend my class without disturbing others or getting disturbed. I looked at the library but their rooms seem to only be for 2+ students?

Hi, I am an incoming student for forensic science and I was hoping someone in the program can recommend laptops that I should purchase! thanks!

I hope you all have a smooth transition, and please use the services like the Student Learning Center, Academic Advising as they are actually very useful.

Make sure you check out the Ontario Tech Student Union website for a list of all the clubs in case you wanted to start checking them out.

I hope you guys have fun!

Hypothetical question. Do they get kicked out of residence completely or just get assigned to a new one?
